Accident prevention
The indications given in the instruction manual do not substitute the safety measures and technical data
for the installation and the functioning directly applicable to the product, nor do they substitute safety
regulations in-force in the country of installation.
The person responsible for installation or maintenance is under obligation to notify any possible defects
or deterioration that might compromise the original safety of the equipment.
The standard machine is not equipped to work in an environment in which particular flammable or
explosive conditions are present.
Do not use the equipment if damaged, or deterioration has been noticed. Disconnect / isolate the
equipment from the power supply and inform the appropriate supervisor.
Chemical detergents must be used with care in order not to damage the machine components and the
environment (ideally degradability of over 90%). Always check the degradability and the harmfulness of
products used by any COSHH sheet supplied. Do not put paints, acids, solvents, oily or very thick liquids,
etc. through the machine. Detergents should be introduced to the machine via the chemical pick up pipe
and filter. Do not introduce chemical directly into the water tank.
Protect the machine from frost and atmospheric weather conditions.
If the machine is to be taken out of service for a period of time it is advisable to either completely drain
the machine of water or introduce an anti-freeze agent to the machine. Failure to do so could result in
expensive damage to the pump and heating elements. Also, trying to start the machine when frozen will
employ the electrical motor overload switch and the machine will have to be reset to operate. Only a
competent electrician or service engineer should gain access to the electric box.
Do not direct the water jet at persons, animals, the machine itself, or any object which has an electrical
current.
Never direct the jet at yourself or at other personnel to clean clothing or footwear. Do not touch the
water jet with your hands while the machine is in operation; this will result in severe injury.
The machine, if correctly used and in a good state of maintenance, produces a sound pressure level
(noise) of 78dBA
.
Hearing protection is not required but can be provided and worn when operating the
machine. Should the environment in which the machine is installed preclude such conditions, the client
shall ensure they conform with the laws in force in the country of installation to protect the hearing of
their employees.
4.
Transportation
Only employ specialist personnel to lift and transport the machine, who are provided with appropriate
lifting equipment designed to bear the weight of the machine. The machine is designed to allow the use
of a forklift truck (FLT) for this purpose, however the machine may topple off the FLT if not secured prior
to moving.
5.
Installation
It is appropriate to carefully evaluate the site of installation, taking into consideration all of the
information in this manual and also anything unforeseen. The machine should ideally be installed on a
flat, level surface, secured to the floor and have sufficient space around it to allow for safe operation and
maintenance.
